Although this is a pretty safe way of rooting these phones.. advance at your own risk!! I am not reliable for your phone. If you are broke and have never rooted devices before you might want to wait till you have a bit of cash for a new one if yours bricks.
I am making this tutorial to help others out that have ran into this issue before. Trying to root a THL 4000, 4400, 5000, & it getting stuck at the fastboot mode. I'm sure that this will work with any MTK device that has to have 3 windows driver states. So lets get this started
Things you will need......
You will have to have developer options enable on your device. If you do not know how to do this then follow the link below.

Windows Auto USB drivers for MTK devices....

Root Software... Kingo Root

Get the “MTK Droid tools” only not the drivers. I don't think they are automatic as that is the method we will be using.

Step 1
Keep your phone unplugged.
Tell windows not to auto install a driver for your phone. Go to your start button and do a search for...
“Change device” This bring up at the top... 'Change device installation settings' Click on that then you should be able to select “no, let me choose what to do” Then “Never install drivers from windows update.” Hit “Save changes”
Step 1.1
Before you reboot!!!
If you have plugged in your MTK device before trying this then you need to go to your device manager and delete the driver that is listed under “Android Device”. (on windows7 it was a HTC driver that auto installed that I had to delete.)
If not then move on to step 2.
To find device manager ..
Hit start then search “device manager” It should list it at the top. Click it then Android device should be the first one in the list.
Plug in the phone.
Right click on the HTC driver or whatever it installed for your phone and select from the list delete or uninstall this driver. Then it's going to want to reboot go ahead and say yes.
Unplug your phone restart your computer & move on to step 3
Step 2
Reboot Windows.
Step 3
Install the main driver.
Extract the USB driver .zip you download into it own folder.
Click into the folder then click on install and follow the install processes.
This will install all the drivers for MTK Devices X86 & 64bit(32bit/64bit)
With your phone booted up..
Then Plug your MTK device into your computer with your USB cable.
(If you see the installing driver message pop up from windows click it. Hit stop trying to install driver from windows update.)
The message it should say is “driver installed successful” in the same window it will list the driver it installed it should say “Android Composite ADB Interface”
Then it installed correctly.
If this failed then reboot and then plug in the phone again.
If step 3 worked then move on to rooting
Install Kingo Root and root!
With the phone booted and in the main system..
Open up Kingo root on your windows computer and plug in the phone.
Set the phone down on something so that it is not being moved during rooting.
You should see Kingo root searching the connection when it's done it should have the name of the device and some other information on it like it has a MTK CPU and stuff. Hit the button at the bottom that says root and it should start root the phone.
DO NOT DISCONECT OR HANDLE THE PHONE DURING THIS PROCESS<<<<<<<<<
You should see it downloading files and installing them on the phone.
The phone should reboot a few times you might see it go into fastboot mode.
This is where it will work or get stuck in fastboot.
If it worked the you are all set.
If it failed and got stuck in fastboot then continue on to step 4 of this tutorial.
Step 4
(If you just got stuck in fastboot mode above close kingo root and try holding down the power button on the phone. If power button did not work pull the battery if its a THL 4000. Hit the reset button on the back if its a 5000. Then boot backup into Android.)
You have to install a driver for all states of your android phone.
Recovery driver,
Fastboot Driver, << If it is getting stuck in fastboot when trying to root it.
Main system driver.
We have installed one for the main system now lets install the other two
Recovery driver.
Unplug your phone from your computer.
Power down your phone.
Hold the Power button and volume up at the same time till you feel your it vibrate or go to a screen asking you where you want to go. If it asks you use your volume and power buttons to navigate the menu and to select “Recovery Mode”
Now in recovery mode plug your phone back into windows. Because you installed the auto driver and you have windows not looking at windows update it should install the drive automatically.
It should be something like this..
Driver installed successful
“Mtk device driver” or “MediaTech device”
Then it should have the driver to talk to your phone in recovery mode.
If your phone has a option for fastboot in your recovery menu the select it.
If you don't then select “Reboot device” or “Boot device”. In the recovery menu.
Install Fastboot driver
If you had the option to go there from recovery then you should already see windows installing a driver for fastboot. It should say the same thing your recovery driver said when it was successful. If this worked skip the next few lines and move to the next step.
You only have to try to install this driver if when trying to root it with Kingo root it gets stuck in fastboot mode & Kingo fails to root or just sits there at waiting on device.
If you end up on this mode don't panic it happened to my THL 4000 & THL 5000.
Warning this is not the best of recommendations but it worked for me!!
Kingo root was hung on waiting for device and would not fail or stop trying like it was froozen. Now keep in mind I gave it about 30 mins to stop trying. The phone was still in fastboot mode so I X out of Kingo root to close it and unplugged my THL 4000 phone still in fastboot mode.
Now with phone in hand still in Fastboot mode reboot Windows. After the reboot pulg your phone into the computer with your USB cable still in Fastboot mode.
Windows will automatically install the same driver that it installed for recovery mode.
Then you are ready with all 3 driver Kingo root can access the phone at all levels to root the phone.
After the install on windows is complete if it is still in fastboot mode.. unplug the phone from the computer. Try holding down your power button (and if it shuts it off your good). If it does not work open up the back and take the battery out.(THL 4000) If the battery does not come out then take the back off and look for reset button.(THL 5000).
Now your device should restart back up to the main system. Stay at the main system for rooting in the next section.
Root the THL 4000 5000 MTK device.
With the phone booted and in the main system..
Open up Kingo root on your windows computer and plug in the phone.
Set the phone down on something so that it is not being moved during rooting.
You should see Kingo root searching the connection when it's done it should have the name of the device and someother information on it like it has a MTK CPU and stuff. Hit the button at the bottom of the page and it should start root the phone.
DO NOT DISCONECT THE PHONE ON THIS PROCESS<<<<<<<<<
You should see it downloading files and installing them on the phone.
The phone should reboot a few times you might see it go back to the fastboot except this time it has a windows driver and it should get past that part this time. When its done it will say finish at the bottom leave the phone plugged in and hit the button. It should come to the rooting screen again and say Un-root OR Root again. Then you know its rooted.
Congrats your THL MTK device should be rooted now!! It should have installed SuperSu for you. Now go download some cool root apps!
